Jesse Jackson has a good point on wwltv.com - Shrub's ceremonial visit is not what they need - they need action..

How about this; Since the insurance companies are gonna pay off bigtime anyway give them the swampland or the option to buy whatever private property owners want out. All remaning companies and indivduals players form a district. The insurance companies put together a consortiam of private equity , hedge fund, deveoper capital and outsource the levee problem to the dutch. The cosortium pays the billions of dollars to redo the whole system. Paying a few billions for all that land ect would be cheap compared to the value of the land itself (if the public beleives the new levee system). The assement comes to all that remain in the district to pay for the bond. the insurance consortium which now has many many acres of buildable land devlope or sell to devopers to get money back and make a profit. keep the government out of it other then some tax credits and cutting beuracracy when the next hurricane hits, hopefully most would have gotten a fair return on the money and we will start the process over again. Imagine, insurance rates going DOWN because of the huge profit everyone made.

I'm pissed because we just passed a pork-laden transportation bill While I agree the transportation bill was obscene, I think there is a certain amount of irony that Katrina took dead aim at the Mississippi gulf coast where upteen billions of pork dollars have been garnered by Sen. Trent Lott. Except for perhaps Alaska and West Virginia, Pascagoula MS gets the most pork dollars per capita in the US, mostly from Navy shipyards. As the President said, he will someday again sit on the front porch of Trent Lott's vacation home looking out over the Gulf of Mexico, and we the American taxpayers will have again paid for the view.
